The Nature of Powders

We think of powders as a mass of solid particles or granules. In fact these particles are usually surrounded by air (or other fluid) and it is the solids plus fluid combination that significantly affects the bulk properties of the powder. It is perhaps the most complicating characteristic because the amount of fluid can be so variable.

Powders are... (read more)
